Quote:Has Gus made any really good coaching decisions since he has been here?

 

How about just any good coaching decisions since he has been here?

 

I've seen plenty of the bone-headed Bradley decisions, so no need to list those.

 

Good point. 

 

Can anyone remember ANY specific case where you can point to a game and say Gus' coaching decision there was pivotal???

 

I can't think of any. 

 

But as you said, the bone headed decisions seem to be mounting. 

 

Quote:I don't agree with firing him now but I will say he needs to start winning some games and show some competitive football on Sundays.

 

Yeah, we have rookies. Guess what, we also have rookies in the coach's offices and GM's office. They jettisoned the players they didn't like then replaced them with players they did like, yet we still are the chumps of the league.

I don't think anyone is suggesting they fire him <b><i>right now.</i></b> But at seasons end, we still haven't begun to see some serious change, then I think he should be gone at that point. 

 

Quote:It's concerning that we're one of the 4 worst teams in the history of the NFL.... only 3 other teams in the history of the league have started 0-6 in consecutive years.

 

Now, maybe we're setting ourselves up for the most miraculous comeback in the history of the NFL, but I highly doubt we will.

 

I like Gus, but he honestly has not done much to prove he's a keeper.  We should keep him around for next year as well but I wouldn't be surprised if by mid-season next year, he is canned.

 

I wouldn't be shocked if we started something like 1-4 next year and sit at 3-7 after 10 games, and the excuses will be the same.  It'll be "well we're playing with a bunch of rookies and 2nd year players and we need to continue to learn and get better"

 

Caldwell should keep his eye on a proven head coach that is known for his offense and grooming QBs.  We have the QB, now is the time to find a head coach that will suit Bortles perfectly.

 

Wow, I didn't know only 3 other teams in the history of this league have started 0-6 in consecutive seasons..... I wonder if ANY of those teams were under the SAME head coach?.....

 

Quote:Do you want to keep him around for next year if we go 0-16 this year?

Given what we have seen from Gus so far and what we've learned about him as a head coach, I don't think I'd want him back next year if we go 4-12 or less, this year. If he showed more as a coach up until this point, I'd be more hesitant to see him go, but we've really seen very little other than being a head cheerleader. 

 

Quote:It would be different if we had a complete team. We are still missing FS, the entire LB corps, and a whole lot of depth, among other things. If we had those pieces in place and we were still struggling, that would be one thing. As it is, there are too many variables to make a judgement on coach. I think a lot of coaches would struggle with this squad.

 

The reasoning of needing top players at every position before you start seeing results is lame. 

 

Good coaches and good QB are able to do more with less. Gus has not made what we have, better.
